Ah-bare-ae-shun...?
With a rolled R because the bare-ae kinda gets turned into baerae
So really it's Ah-baerae-shun.

like. the word aberration. it's an actual word, there's not an alternate pronunciation unless you've got an accent/dialect.

?/æ.b????ei.?n?/

awh. FR doesn't like IPA.

ab-er-ay-shun
I suppose I pronounce the breed just like the word

I'm a Brit myself so I go with the British English pronounciation. [/quote] I am a goddamn American and this offends me! An abrasion is a scrape, nobody pronounces aberration this way and if they do they're no friend of mine! [/quote] [quote name="CocoatheRainWing" date="2024-03-16 10:59:54" ] I have lived in the US my entire life and I have never heard anyone pronounce it like abrasion. That's an entirely different word, what the heck. [/quote] As a fellow American, I don't think "a·br·ay·shn" is supposed to be "abrasion"? It's probably supposed to be "a-bur-ay-shn"? I think "abrasion" would be "a·bray·shn". Because like you said, I don't think anyone would ever say "abrasion" when they mean "aberration". [emoji=aberration confused size=1] But anyway, yeah. I pronounce it "a-bur-ay-shun". It didn't occur to me that "a-buh-ray-shun" was a possibility, but it makes sense taking British pronunciation into account. [/quote] Maybe its like, a speed thing? Like instead of just "abrasion" is a super fast A-[i]brr[/i]-ation? I'm American as well and trying SO hard to justify the weird pronunciation,,,
